About Selena
Hello! I'm Selena, a native Mandarin speaker and a certified Early Childhood Educator in Vancouver. I hold a BC ECE Certificate with Infant/Toddler and Special Needs endorsements, and I've worked as a kindergarten teacher for two years. I also hold a current Emergency Child Care First Aid & CPR/AED Level B certificate, and a valid BC criminal record clearance for working with children (valid through December 2029). Before becoming an educator, I worked as a registered nurse for 25 years — so your child's health, safety, and well-being are in experienced hands. I'm warm, patient, and truly love being around children. I'd love to help your child fall in love with Mandarin!

Is your little one curious about Mandarin — or would you love to keep your family's language alive at home?
I'm a certified early childhood educator, and I teach Mandarin the way young children learn best: through play! Your child will sing Mandarin songs, hear stories, play games, and chat in everyday Mandarin — no dry memorization, no pressure, just joyful learning.
Step by step, your child will build:
• Confidence in listening and speaking — greetings, counting, colours, animals, and simple everyday sentences
• A natural ear for Mandarin tones through songs and rhymes
• Pinyin and character recognition for older children, at their own pace
• Support with Mandarin homework and reading for school-aged children
Lessons are one-on-one, tailored to your child's age and personality — at your home or online. The first trial lesson is free.
English-speaking, Cantonese-speaking, and bilingual families are all warmly welcome — no Mandarin background needed!
